| For this weekend, I'll be riding at 7am and be done no later than 10 or 11am. It will still be plenty hot by then!! Everyone hydrate!! |

| Unless I am reading this wrong, the chart indicates to me that the air is very dry for late June in Georgia. The dewpoint is in the 50s. The low is starting in the mid-sixties and rising rapidly with daylight, also indicating dry air. The heat index mirrors the high temp at peak hours, which again indicates relatively dry air. While certainly hot, I wouldn't expect the 100 degree temps ths weekend to be as oppresive as, say, those rare times when Atlanta hits the high 90s with a dewpoint in the mid to high 70s. Still, it looks like a good weekend to spend playing in a mountain lake.... |

| I was mentioning over the past couple of days that Georgia's trying to mimick the southwest. Hot during the days and cold at night. Not a cloud in sight. Strange. |
